Titans Casts Drop Dead Diva Star as Rita Farr (aka Elasti-Girl)

April Bowlby, best known for playing Stacy Barrett on all six seasons of Drop Dead Diva, has joined the cast of the DC drama, Entertainment Weekly reports. Bowlby will appear as Rita Farr, who adapts the moniker of Elasti-Girl — not to be confused with the Incredibles matriarch of the same name — after a toxic gas changes her cellular makeup and allows her to change size at will. She’ll be introduced in Episode 5, titled “Doom Patrol.”

From executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, Titans — which will debut on DC’s yet-untitled streaming service later this year — follows Dick Grayson’s Robin (played by Brenton Thwaites) as he steps out of Batman’s shadow and assembles a motley crew of crimefighters, ranging from an alien warrior princess to a green-skinned boy with the ability to turn into animals.
